Obviously it depends on the total turnover. 30% at 400m is 120m and a huge profit, 30% at 150m is 45m still a decent profit.
But if this more stringent interpretation is the actual limit on spending, then we are going to see large scale reductions in wages and transfer fees over the next 3-4 years.
Also worth asking where will those large scale profit margins go. Cheaper tickets, I somehow doubt that, and that will in any case just lower turnover, therefore furthering lower allowable player spending.
The actual meaning and effect of PSR has yet to be seen or understood, imv.
But the 70% doesn't cover everything a club spends. It covers the costs of the squad and manager etc.
So the 30% that is left will be mainly swallowed up elsewhere, especially for clubs our size, as the other costs of running a club are a higher proportion of our revenues.
Bigger clubs, with much higher turnovers will see bigger profits, yes. Maybe they can then start reinvesting that into their infrastructure, rather than play in a crumbling old stadium like United.
